Matchday 33 in the English Premier League is a special one, because it’s also Derby Weekend around the League. The weekly EPL Swarm convened by Unanimous AI predicted all the games on the weekend fixtures list, paying special attention to the Merseyside Derby (Liverpool and Everton) and Manchester Derby (United and City), both of which will be played tomorrow.
Since it is Derby Weekend, let’s start our focus there. In the Merseyside clash at Everton’s Goodison Park, the swarm predicts Liverpool – fresh off their stunning smackdown of Man. City in the Champions League – to beat Everton. It’s an interesting prediction in the replay below, because although the swarm predicts only a one goal victory for the Reds, most of the magnets are on the Liverpool side of the hex. That’s the high-end of a medium confidence prediction, but not enough to put it in the top tier.
The other big Derby in the north has Manchester United traveling to Etihad Stadium to take on crosstown rivals, Manchester City. A win for the Sky Blues clinches the League Championship for them, and so perhaps their lackluster performance against Liverpool was a matter of looking ahead to this match. In the replay below, the swarm predicts a Championship Winner for City on Saturday, but here the confidence is also a little measured, with only a single goal margin forecast. Still, as with the Liverpool pick, you can see how the magnets are grouped on the City side of the hex here as well. That makes this another medium-confidence prediction with some upside.
Finally this week, we have our swarm’s most confident pick of the week. After losing at home to Spurs last weekend, Chelsea is in a must-win situation to qualify for Champions League play next season. They’ll host West Ham in their own London derby, and in the replay below you can see that the swarm likes their chances a lot. Here we see the 2-goal win prediction that’s missing from the other two derbies in the replays above, a key factor in ranking this as a top confidence pick. The swarm also assigned the maximum betting confidence to this match, only underscoring their conviction that Chelsea will take this.
